6.0 Summary of Innovative Aspects
A benefi t of the design build approach is the communication
between the engineer and contractor in
terms of innovative ideas. The Sandco/Inovia team has
developed innovative ideas, presented in more detail
in Section 4, which have the potential to save money,
reduce the extent of maintenance of traffi c, increase
safety, and reduce the construction duration. These
items are intended to be suggestions at this point.
During negotiation we will review each measure with
Leon County to determine where any of these innovative
concepts will be benefi cial for this project.
The items include 1) cracking and re-seating the existing
concrete pavement, and 2) providing supplemental
safety features at the mid-block pedestrian crossing
at The Moon. Each of these items have the potential to
add value to the project and increase safety.
7.0 Summary of Quality Management
For this project, our Quality Management program
began during the preparation of the Expanded Letter
of Interest and it will continue until fi nal acceptance
of the construction. To ensure that we provide quality
services and products, we have controls in place that
Section 1
A new Urban Park, located within the Historic Fourth Ward Neighborhood of Atlanta, GA, is one
of the fi rst redevelopment projects undertaken by the Atlanta BeltLine Incorporated. WPi was
selected as the phase II project prime consultant. The brownfi eld sites have been turned into
civic open spaces complete with open lawns, water play areas, playgrounds, historic artifacts,
art, a skate park, a multi-use fi eld and a large event greensward. Sustainable design principles
are implemented through the incorporation of photovoltaic solar arrays to adhere to an energy
neutral usage policy, along with stormwater reuse for irrigation, use of recycled materials
and establishment of urban forest and native meadow areas. The park connects directly to the
future 22-mile BeltLine loop and will become the catalyst for additional redevelopment and
reinvestment within the surrounding community.

This project by Sandco involved the relocation of an existing street and the construction of a
major stormwater pond. It required a major excavation (160,000 CY of earthwork) of an approximately
1000 acre drainage basin coming through the existing waterway, which required
continual pumping and the use of a fi ltration system to maintain water fl ow while controlling
sediment, so that the turbidity did not exceed DEP limits to protect the downstream environment,
which included Lake Jackson. It also included relocation of live sewer lines in the vicinity
of the pond, a large drainage control structure, damming of the pond itself with massive
retaining walls (2200 CY of concrete over 20’ tall and 2’ thick), 11,400 LF of pilings, and the
removal and reconstruction of an existing road while providing a safe traffi c corridor. Sandco
constructed this major stormwater pond for the COT with an emphasis so that the fi nished
product has a park-like appearance. Sandco relocated a city street that required large retaining
walls. Landscaping and ornamental surfacing of the walls added to the fi nal appearance.
will check, correct, and verify the product and the process.
Our commitment to quality extends beyond the
plans, specifi cations, and construction elements, but
includes a commitment to every document produced
during the project. We understand the importance of
all documents, including meeting minutes and correspondence,
especially correspondence to regulatory
agencies or concerned citizens.
In today’s competitive engineering and construction
industry, the Sandco/Inovia team realizes that quality
is mandatory for success. Section 5, Quality Management
Plan, describes the quality control plans of the
Sandco/Inovia design build team in more detail. A
functional, safe, and pleasant roadway corridor will be
the result of the implementation of quality management
during the design and construction phases.
8.0 Summary of Project Schedule
The project schedule presented in Section 3 of this
document calls for completion within 397 days. The
LAP agreement for funding expires on June 30, 2014,
and the project end is scheduled for March 5, 2014,
which accommodates a 3 month, 25 day buff er.
